• Important: when using alkaline batteries the battery switch must
be placed in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result
in serious damage to the batteries or radio.
• Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing.
• If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
